The Continuing Religious Education of the Clergy Within the Church of England with Specific Reference to the Diocese of London 1 The Continuing Religious Education of the Clergy within the Church of England with Specific Reference to the Diocese of London. John Kevin Eastell Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Institute of Education 1992 2 Thesis Abstract The basic questions addressed by the thesis are concerned with the nature of the ordained ministry of the Church of England as it approaches the twenty first century and what educational provisions are required to prepare and sustain that ministry. Following an introduction, which outlines in detail the methodology of the thesis and the specific terms of reference for the study, the various strands which suggest the constants of ministerial being and function are traced from the New Testament evidence through Church History. The exploration identifies the influences which shaped the ordained ministry and provided it with variable roles and identity within its changing historical context. The specific terms of its being and the functions of oversight, pastoralia and teaching were retained as traditional constants within ministerial formation. The New Testament evidence gives attention to the relationship between discipleship and the Rabbinical teaching tradition as the basis for Apostolic ministry. The emerging structure of ministerial forms is identified by comparing the earliest with the latest of the New Testament documents. The investigation into Church History isolates three periods which are considered to be germane to the study. The first is the rise of Christianity within the multi-racial, cultural and religious Roman world. The second period looks at the medieval Church in England and how it educationally managed its resources in terms of its personnel and parochial provision. Thirdly, the study looks at the Victorian Church as an example of how ministerial change was organised and as the Church which left the present Church of England its immediate legacy. The thesis then examines the current provision of theological preparation for the ordained ministry which is offered in the residential theological colleges and non-residential training courses. A critique of this provision is offered along with an analysis of the educational features which can be found within it. The investigation continues with an examination of post-ordination training and continuing ministerial education. In the concluding chapter, a summary is provided about the main findings of the thesis and the principles of educational reform are identified. This leads to the construction of a new pattern of educational training for and within ministry based upon a continuum principle and one that is related closely to the changing parochial context. 3 LIST OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.

Time for a Change: The Principal of Salisbury and Wells Theological College, Philip Crowe, writing in the Church Times during 1991 made some interesting if speculative predictions about the future of the parochial ministry of the Church of England. He envisaged that within the next ten years, that is by the end of this century, the Church of England could have an ordained priest resident in every parish in the country, serving as a member of a team devoted to mission and ministry. At first sight there may not appear to be anything particularly dramatic about this prospect. It has been a characteristic of the parochial ministry of the Church of England for centuries that every blade of grass in the country falls within a parish which has a resident priest. Unlike other denominations, the church of England has structured itself on the basis that it serves the people of England regardless of any faith or none and all who live within a parish have an incumbent. The Church of England does not make provision for its own adherents, but provides each parish with a Parson - a person who will care not only for his own religious community, but all who reside within his parochial cure. Embodied within the provisions of the Church of England are rights which are given to parochial residents who can lay claim to have their children baptised and married within their parish church; besides the opportunity to exercise voting rights by which they can participate in the election of the Parochial Church Council given that qualifying terms are met. 8 What makes Philip Crowe's observations interesting is that they bring a glimpse of hope to a situation which is on the point of general collapse. Already the parochial system has broken down in rural areas where the Church of England has now got one priest serving many former parishes. The indications are that this disposition is beginning to be manifested in the more heavily populated areas of the urban Dioceses. The notion of a small geographical parish with a manageable population served by a full-time, stipendiary and confident Vicar or Rector is rapidly disappearing into the confines of folk memory.

  • Book IV – Function of the Church: Part I – the Sacraments
    The Sacraments The Catholic Church recognizes the existence of Seven Sacraments instituted by the Lord. They are: Sacraments of Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist Sacraments of Healing: Penance (Reconciliation) and Anointing of the Sick Sacraments at the Service of Communion: Holy Orders and Matrimony Code of Cannon Law: Book IV - Function of the Church: Part I - The Sacraments The Sacraments (Code of Canon Law; Cann. 840-848) Can. 840 The sacraments of the New Testament were instituted by Christ the Lord and entrusted to the Church. As actions of Christ and the Church, they are signs and means which express and strengthen the faith, render worship to God, and effect the sanctification of humanity and thus contribute in the greatest way to establish, strengthen, and manifest ecclesiastical communion. Accordingly, in the celebration of the sacraments the sacred ministers and the other members of the Christian faithful must use the greatest veneration and necessary diligence. Can. 841 Since the sacraments are the same for the whole Church and belong to the divine deposit, it is only for the supreme authority of the Church to approve or define the requirements for their validity; it is for the same or another competent authority according to the norm of can. 838 §§3 and 4 (Can. 838 §3. It pertains to the conferences of bishops to prepare and publish, after the prior review of the Holy See, translations of liturgical books in vernacular languages, adapted appropriately within the limits defined in the liturgical books themselves. §4. Within the limits of his competence, it pertains to the diocesan bishop in the Church entrusted to him to issue liturgical norms which bind everyone.) to decide what pertains to their licit celebration, administration, and reception and to the order to be observed in their celebration.

  • 1 Introduction 2 the New Religious Orders 3 the Council of Trent And
    NOTES 1 Introduction I. This term designates first of all the act of 'confessing' or professing a par­ ticular faith; secondly, it indicates the content of that which is confessed or professed, as in the Augsburg Confession; finally then it comes to mean the group that confesses this particular content, the church or 'confession'. 2 The New Religious Orders I. The terms 'order' and 'congregation' in this period were not always clear. An order usually meant solemn vows, varying degrees of exemption from the local bishop, acceptance of one of the major rules (Benedictine, Augustinian, Franciscan), and for women cloister.A congregation indicated simple vows and usually subordination to local diocesan authority. A con­ fraternity usually designated an association of lay people, sometimes including clerics, organized under a set of rules , to foster their common religious life and usually to undertake some common apostolic work. In some cases confraternities evolved into congregations, as was the case with many of the third orders, and congregations evolved into orders. 2. There is no effort here to list all the new orders and congregations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 3. An English translation of Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, the papal bull of 27 September 1540 establishing the Society ofJesus, is found in John Olin, The Catholic Reformation: Savonarola to Ignatius Loyola: Reform in the Church, /495-1540 (New York: Harper and Row, 1969), pp. 203-8. 3 The Council of Trent and the Papacy I.

  • 'Libera Nos Domine'?: the Vicars Apostolic and the Suppressed
    ‘Libera nos Domine’? 81 Chapter 4 ‘Libera nos Domine’?: The Vicars Apostolic and the Suppressed/Restored English Province of the Society of Jesus Thomas M. McCoog, SJ It would have been much to the interests of the Church if her history had not included the story of such difficulties as those which are the subject of this chapter. Her internal dissensions, whether on a large or small scale, bear the same relation to the evils inflicted on her from without, as diseases do to wounds won in honourable fight. Thus did Edwin H. Burton open the chapter ‘The Difficulties between the Vicars Apostolic and the Regulars’ in his work on Bishop Challoner.1 The absence of such opposition may have made the history of the post-Reforma- tion Roman Catholic Church in England more edifying, but surely would also have deprived subsequent scholars of fascinating material for dissertations and monographs. In his doctoral thesis Eamon Duffy remarked that, although tension between Jesuits and seculars was less than in previous centuries, ‘the bitterness … which remained was all pervasive … No Catholic in England escaped untouched’.2 Basil Hemphill, having noted that ‘most unfortunate jealousies persisted between the secular and the regular clergy … and with an intensity which seems incredible to us today’, considered their explication essential if history wished to be truthful ‘and if it be not truthful it is of no use at all’.3 A brief overview of uneasy, volatile and tense relations between Jesuits and secular clergy in post-Reformation England will contextualize the eigh- teenth-century problem. 1 Edwin H.

For more information, please see the item record link above. The Church in the Tridentine and Early Modern Eras Introduction: The Roots of Reform in the Sixteenth Century The early modern period stands out as one of the most creative in the history of the Christian church. While the Reformation proved viciously divisive, it also engendered theological and devotional initiatives that, over time and despite resistance, ultimately transformed the conventions of ecclesiology, ministry, apostolate, worship and piety. Simultaneously, the Catholic church, in particular, underwent profound shifts in devotion and theological thought that were only partially the product of the shock induced by the Reformation and at best only indirectly influenced by pressure from Protestant Reformers. Yet despite the pre-1517 antecedents of reformatio, and the reforming objectives of the Catholic Council of Trent (1545-7, 1551-2, 1562-3), the concept of church reform was effectively appropriated by Protestants from the sixteenth century onwards. Protestant churchmen claimed with assurance that they and the Reformation that they instigated sought the church’s 'reform in faith and practice, in head and members’.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

  • On the Part of the Clergy [C.278] and of the Laity [C. 1374]
    The Right to Associate-- on the Part of the Clergy [C.278] and of the Laity [C. 1374] Adolfo N. Dacanáy¨ Abstract: This short study on the right to associate in canon law is divided into three unequal parts: (1) the right of clerics affirmed in C. 278; and (2) the “restriction” of this right of the Catholic laity by C. 1374 (masonry); and (3) a footnote on masonry in the Philippines. Keywords: Code of Canon Law • Right to Associate • Clergy • Laity • Masonry 1. The Right of Clerics to Associate [C. 278] The three paragraphs of the canon concern the right of the secular clergy to associate and the limits of this right: (a) the secular clerics have the right to associate with others to pursue purposes consistent with the clerical state; (b) in particular, associations approved by competent authority which fosters holiness in the exercise of the ministry are to be esteemed; (c) clerics are to refrain from establishing or participating in associa- tions whose purposes or activities cannot be reconciled with the obligations of the clerical state. ¨ Fr. Adolfo N. Dacanáy, S.J., entered the Society of Jesus in 1977 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1983. He obtained his doctorate in Canon Law from the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome) in 1989. He teaches undergraduate and graduate theology at the Ateneo de Manila University, Canon Law on the Sacraments at the Don Bosco School of Theology (Parañaque), and serves as a judge in the ecclesiastical tribunals of the Archdiocese of Manila, and of the Dioceses of Pasig and Lucena.

  • The Next Century in Anglican Monasticism
    The Next Century in Anglican Monasticism A. Appleton Packard, O.H.C. Fr. Packard is Master of Postulants and Cantor of the O rder of the Holy Cross of the Episcopal Church, at West Park, Ulster County, N . Y. He returned a year or so ago from several years' service in t he Holy Cross Mission, Liberia, West Africa. He was graduated in 1929 from the Gen­ eral Theological Seminary in New York City with the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology. Look back more than one hundred and twenty years. On March 26, 1845, two Sisters of the Holy Cross began corporate, community religious life in a bouse at 17 Park Village West, Regent's Park, London. They were the first Anglican nuns in over three centuries. From this tiny beginning there grew and steadily flourished the great tree of monasticism now firmly planted in the world-wide spiritual garden of Anglicanism. Look back nearly seventy years. At the opening of the 1900s, a half-century after the life of the Counsels for both men and women was permanently re-established, the greater communities bad gained and proved their stability; they were already rooted at home in Eng­ land and in the outlying provinces of the whole Communion. By this time other communities of less sure foundation bad succumbed or were tending towards dissolution. But the tide bad turned; secular 234 Dominicana opposition waned; ecclesiastical suspicion changed to growing, posi­ tive approval. Our Anglican Church had added fresh proof of her all-embracing, essential, fundamental Catholicity, by means of the fertility and fruitage of holy religion.
